Good to hear from you and hear you are keeping up with your shots. I have had 8 or 9 Covid shots. They were giving them every six months initially- now once a year. Take care of yourself! Looking forward to seeing what you wear on the 18th. Wish I had a frog costume! 💚🐸💚

Rodney King wondered why everybody can’t get along. We can if we choose the path of right and love. This American woman and her Canadian husband know that is true. 28 years and counting…

The great derangement syndrome. As the world blows past the 1.5 degree red line Trump and Carney talk about reviving Keystone XL.
It won't lower tariffs on wood, furniture, steel, auto.
But it will be a massive carbon bomb to a struggling planet.
My latest.

Harper made Canada the worst climate performer among industrial nations, ranked 58th best by the international Climate Change Performance Index.

Trudeau made Canada an even worse climate arsonist than under Harper, dropping us to an even more dismal 62nd place.

Carney: "Hold my beer."

It is clear that Trump is not going to stop in his attack on Canadian manufacturing. The PM is going to have to put a strong plan in place to support our auto, lumber, steel, aluminum sectors.
This is a speech I gave to autoworkers in Oshawa.

@stevijoe.bsky.social Thinking of you! It’s Covid season and flu season. My sister-in-law has had a brutal case of Covid for more than a week. My husband just woke up with the flu (we have not gotten this year’s flu shot.) Hope you are okay and being pro-active about your health. Take care of you!☺️

Donald Trump continues to wage a war on his political enemies.

How far will the courts, the media, and the American people let him go?

We discuss this, and other big news of the week, on a new Coffee Klatch.

Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about Donald Trump's physical and mental health the way it would have if anyone else were president?

‘Venezuela has evolved from a relatively democratic and prosperous country to a brutal, authoritarian state.
Most Venezuelans live in deep poverty, as the few at the top enrich themselves. The violent machinery of the state is directed against the country’s own citizens’
